@susanssongs101

Oddly enough, the Irish side of my family hails from County Mayo.

This is beautiful thank you for posting. I am not a musician but this sound like the song they used for "Star Trek - the inner light" is it the same song?

Again this is beautiful - very haunting.

@WillShakespeare2007 While it sounds very similar it's not the same song. I've taught myself how to play both and the notes are quite different if you pay close attention. (:

[WillShakespeare2007]

@Pallidity - But did you teach yourself to play while living someone else's life on a long dead planet?

Lovely Tom. Cheers.

The Isle of Skye (Portree) is the only place i know, where you can drop your wallet in a taxi and get it back after 4 hours.. Followed by a dressing down from the cabbie who said, 'I've been looking for you, ya daft ba'std..You shouldn't carry that amount of money with you (£243) you could lose it''

No, its a standard D whistle played in its lower octaves.

[georginelouise]

Is this a low D whistle?

Thanks!

@Joeybcool: Yep, a tin whistle. It's a good brass whistle, actually, from Feadog
